Comments/Problems:
The installation is rather smooth. I have only two small things to complain about the startup menu of the installer.
When I booted the installer I could use the cursor to choose from Install/Expert Install/Help and so on, and once I chose help I was given a few choices with different <Fn> keys. I remember one choice (return?) was labeled as <F11> but actually only <F12> worked.
Also, after choosing menu the cursor was after the "boot:" prompt. Entering "menu" returned to the startup menu as instructed, but entering things like "install" or "expert" didn't work at all and some error message was displayed.
Sorry about the vagueness of details but I didn't take pictures during the installation and these are from my memory. If reproducing is problematic I can try again and provide more accurate information.
Thanks for the work on D-I!
Regards,
Ming
